Neither. Christians hijacked the Pagans' existing holiday season because they thought it would make it easier to force their religion on non-Christians.

There is no record of Jesus being born on any date. Only stories, much like Clifford the Big Red Dog.

What I do for Christ is between me and God and those I help. i became taught to no longer brag or boast of ones movements in this area. it incredibly is a nicely prevalent fact that Jesus birthday became no longer December twenty 5th, what's extra substantial is that we've have fun and thank God for the present God gave us. i do no longer think of he might merchandise to having a date set aside as a reminder in this busy worldwide the place human beings in lots of cases do no longer make an effort to give up and contemplate the movements. If it wasn't substantial to remember his beginning and the circumstances to which he became born into that's why it is suggested in lots of books of the bible. the marriage isn't suggested because of the fact of occasion of weddings it is suggested by way of miracle he achieved there.

He died in the Spring of 33 C.E. Was born in the Fall of 1 C.E.

Dec. 25 is of no significance to anything. The Romans worshiped the sun and choose that day to do the harvest worship and kept Dec 25 as a day of giving of their harvest.

Dec. 25th, neither birthday or death day.

Time of Birth, Length of Ministry. Jesus evidently was born in the month of Ethanim (September-October) of the year 2 B.C.E., was baptized about the same time of the year in 29 C.E., and died about 3:00 p.m. on Friday, the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan (March-April), 33 C.E. The basis for these dates is as follows:

Jesus was born approximately six months after the birth of his relative John (the Baptizer), during the rule of Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus (31 B.C.E.–14 C.E.) and the Syrian governorship of Quirinius

His birth in relation to Herod’s death. While the date of Herod’s death is a debated one, there is considerable evidence pointing to 1 B.C.E. A number of events intervened between the time of Jesus’ birth and Herod’s death. These included Jesus’ circumcision on the eighth day (Lu 2:21); his being brought to the temple in Jerusalem 40 days after birth ; the journey of the astrologers “from eastern parts” to Bethlehem (where Jesus was no longer in a manger but in a house, Mt 2:1-11; compare Lu 2:7, 15, 16); Joseph and Mary’s flight to Egypt with the young child followed by Herod’s realization that the astrologers had not followed his instructions, and the subsequent slaughter of all boys in Bethlehem and its districts under the age of two years (indicating that Jesus was not then a newborn infant). (Mt 2:16-18) Jesus’ birth taking place in the fall of 2 B.C.E. would allow for the time required by these events intervening between his birth and the death of Herod, likely in 1 B.C.E. There is, however, added reason for placing Jesus’ birth in 2 B.C.E.

Relationship to John’s ministry. Further basis for the dates given at the start of this is found at Luke 3:1-3, which shows that John the Baptizer began his preaching and baptizing in “the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.” That 15th year ran from the latter half of 28 C.E. to August or September of 29 C.E. At some point in John’s ministry, Jesus went to him and was baptized. When Jesus thereafter commenced his own ministry he was “about thirty years old.” (Lu 3:21-23) At the age of 30, the age at which David became king, Jesus would no longer be subject to human parents..

According to Numbers 4:1-3, those going into sanctuary service under the Law covenant were “from thirty years old upward.” It is reasonable that John the Baptizer, who was a Levite and son of a priest, began his ministry at the same age, not at the temple, of course, but in the special assignment Jehovah had outlined for him. The specific mention (twice) of the age difference between John and Jesus and the correlation between the appearances and messages of Jehovah’s angel in announcing the births of the two sons (Lu 1) give ample basis for believing that their ministries followed a similar timetable, that is, the start of John’s ministry (as the forerunner of Jesus) being followed about six months later by the commencement of Jesus’ ministry.

On this basis, John’s birth occurred 30 years before he began his ministry in Tiberius’ 15th year, hence somewhere between the latter half of 3 B.C.E. and August or September of 2 B.C.E., with Jesus’ birth following about six months later.

Birthday..........Merry Christmas. The Christ in Christmas stands for Jesus. Baby Emanual was born in a manger, cause there was no room at the Inn. Mary gave birth to him, without conception. The song away in the manger refer's to the birth of Christ. :) Easter was his death. He died on the cross for our sins, so that we may have everlasting life. Hope this helps :)

birthday, but not technically. historians believe that his birthday is actually sometime in the fall, probably sometime in september. alot of religious holidays fall on old pagan holidays cause the church was trying to give people something to celibrate other than the pagan holidays. kind of a round about way of getting rid of them by masking them.

Technically speaking, it was probably neither. But most of the Western world celebrates it as His birthday.
